Italian here.

The Divine Comedy is literally angry self-fullfillment fanfiction Dante used to shit on the people he despised.

Pretty sure he wrote it as a joke.

pls, go back to the italian thread on /b/

Come on, only a fifth of the Inferno is like that, the rest is extremely deep philosophical, theological and aesthetic contemplation, all delivered with the most perfect craft.

Today? Probably no.
In post-Dante time? Already happened.

Give me a couple years.
It's still really good nigga.

French who read Dante in the original here. I must second that.

not everyone believs in capitalism.

Is this an ok substitute?

Ulysses is pretty close I n terms of both random name dropping and totally random philosophical contemplation

>what is Ulysses

How do people say it was 100% sincere when he called it the comedy

Hahaha, literally trapped by the prison of ideology created for you by pedos.
